I was in eight grade when reedsburg did pipin, and i remember that i didnt understand it but that i always thought our pipin was cute lol. then we looked it up and i got even more confused so i decided just to watch and watch in bewilderment lol
I know, and i feel kinda stupid seeing how i can't figure out how to do it...
That's because you can't do it yourself. Post in one of the topics for that purpose, either in the Website forums or in Show Choir Discussion, and then one of the Crew will change it.

Even though I am now an alumni, I'd still like to say thanks! haha.. I'd like to think the alumni still had some part in helping them get to where they now are. Btw, I remember watching you throughout your show, not because you stuck out in a bad way, but that you were so fun to watch and seemed really into it!
Matt, you're usually pretty speechless. hehe p.s. you need to change your status from student to alumni!)

I completely understand what you are saying. Your show is so complex and innovative, and to truly appreciate the type of show you are doing one must analyze the lyrics and the conception behind the music and dance far beyond its basic meaning. Watching the show multiple times I can honestly say that it is one of my favorite shows I have seen you do, and everytime I see it again I find something new about it that fascinates me. I really appreciate the level of professionalism and thought that goes into each and everyone one of your characters, and your ability to make such a difficult show come to life. I Can't wait to see to see it again live this weekend, and best of luck for the rest of the season.
its been an interesting/tough year for us. pippin is definately a hard show. when i first saw reedsburg do it, i laughed and thought "how are they trying to pull this off?". now i completely understand how difficult it is. we've had many ups and downs but we are finally starting to come together as a group. i think audiences are used to seeing our shows like big river, suessical, or godspell and pippin is much deeper and confusing. i hope by us doing this show it teaches audiences things about life and gets them motivated to learn the story of pippin so that they fully understand our show.
congrats mayville on the victory and thank you for commenting.

WOW! what a competition this turned out to be! I'm so glad that I got to see it all in person!
I saw almost all of the groups yesterday, but I'm just going to comment on the finalists.
Sauk Prairie (YTBN)-Although I did not see your finals performance, I watched you during prelims and I really liked the show! Great facials, good vocals and choreography. You can really tell that you like your show, and if not, you do a wonderful job of acting like it! You have always been a great girls group and this year is no exception! Congrats on the Class A win!
Monona Grove-I had first seen you at your invitational and I think I was expecting more of an improvement than what there was since then. However, I do like your show, it's very entertaining and fun to watch! I love all the superheroes! I think you need to focus on more dynamics in vocals and cleaning your choreography, and it will help you a lot! Also, great job to Lisa, you do wonderful with your solo!
Reedsburg-You guys have a very fun, cute show this year! Charlie Brown, who would have thought!? haha I must say that I don't think you guys really stepped it up during finals though. Overall, you have some great moments vocally and good facials and soloists! (I am curious though as to why you changed the Charlie Brown soloist for finals?) I also loved all of the props, they just add something to the whole show! I hope you do well the rest of your season!
Janesville Craig-You had a good prelim show, but wow! what a great job of improving during finals...vocals, energy, band...everything was better! I was actually nervous for Mayville after seeing your performance! I'm sure that if you can improve that much within a few hours, you will do very well the rest of the season!
Sauk Prairie (Executive Session)-I am not going to lie, I was kind of disappointed by your prelim performance. I hadn't seen your show until yesterday and I was expecting the usual amazing Sauk show, but it just wasn't there for me; I wasn't sure if it was just because I don't know Pippin'. Your vocals were obviously not bad, seeing as you won BV, but they just didn't amaze me like every other year. However, you definately stepped it up during finals! When you started singing during your opener, I was just thinking of how much more Mayville was going to need to step it up too if they wanted a chance at beating you; it sounded like a whole different group to me! Great job overall!
Mayville-well, you know what I think
Once again, congrats to ALL of the groups that competed yesterday, but of course I'd like to give a special shout out to Mayville, I am SO proud of you all! I could feel your energy and how much you wanted to win. Even if you wouldn't have, that was the most amazing performance ever during finals!
(I'm pretty sure this is the longest post ever for me! haha Also, I'm sorry if my comments aren't really much of a help, I just wrote a few main points for each.)

we changed soloists because during auditions we had a tie, so we just do every other performance.

Hey good job to Mayville for winning Grand Champion. You guys were so awesome! I was so mad when we didn't make finals... we missed out by 17/100ths of a point. Oh well. Everyone rocked.
I can't even begin to express how proud I am of each and every one of you! You went into this competition hoping to do well, did well in the day, and then blew the roof off at night! Keep pushing and working and see where it takes you... I get chills just thinking about it!
It was an amazing moment!! Everyone was so kind and supportive of us throughout the entire day, and your really made the entire fun and exciting! Thanks New London parents and kids for an excellent day!
